What the fuck did I do now?

Someone who wants to rant about fat people had better be a fine physical specimen themselves. Otherwise, it’s just a big old crock of horseshit. And when someone declares they’re “fucking hot”, then they need to be prepared for the shit their gonna get for it. That shit is gonna rain down on principle.

What the fuck for? Why does someone who says she’s tired of fat people acting like their weight problem isn’t their fault need to be attractive?

It sounds as if you think I am making excuses. I am not, neither for myself nor for anyone else.

Drug addiction and alcoholism are recognized illnesses with prescribed methods of treatment and so on. That doesn’t excuse the bad behavior that accompanies those conditions, nor does it excuse the damage they do to the addicts’ physical and social health.

Lots of people self-medicate with food (I’m one of them) just as others do with shopping, gambling, alcohol or drugs. These behaviors affect different people in different ways, even as in every single case, the user has the ability to not use.

I’m not making excuses; I am trying to inject a note of reality into a discussion that is mostly on the intellectual level of a farting contest.

I never said attractive.

Someone who isn’t perfectly fit has no room criticizing people who aren’t.

Looks aside as beauty is often in the eye of the beholder, I found it funny that someone who is clearly a good 15 pounds overweight, a/k/a fat, would refer to themselves as “slim” and claim that they will NEVER be fat. Uh, you already are.

If you believe in the laws of Karma, well then she’ll get hers.

Something untoward will occur and maybe she’ll end up on her ass, or in a wheelchair and guess what? She’ll start packing on the pounds, and very quickly become exactly what she has expressed loathing for. Better yet, she’ll suddenly develop a thyroid condition.

She is kind of begging for a life lesson, and sometimes the Gods just like being cooperative!

Because Karma loves a reach around, dontcha know. People so willing to stand in cruel harsh judgment of others less fortunate will eventually find themselves on the wrong end of harsh and cruel judgment from an uncaring world.

Thanks, **Gfactor** , I forgot about the prohibition on the c-word. I don’t think I’ve ever been sufficiently moved to call anyone that here before.

She wasn’t criticizing people who aren’t perfectly fit. She was criticizing people who complain that their weight gain is a result of genetics. You do not need to be in perfect physical condition to make that criticism.

**Roderick** , I am not assuming you are making excuses. I wanted to know if you were consistent with your sympathies.

Awww, you want to keep playing games, huh? Okay! Let’s continue my quote, shall we?

“I’ve got nothing…” that you would want because I am a grown woman, not a five year old girl.

Want to keep playing, or are we done here?

Define “sick” as anything I have posted in this thread. You are an unforgiving shit stirrer. Google maps shows that there is a large deposit of “sick shit” under yer bridge yet to be stirred.
